larger temporary space when reading PDF documents.
2. Different Editions of the Reader OCX
There are 3 different "Editions" of the DocuCom PDF Reader OCX:
Trial Edition : The Trial edition of DocuCom Reader OCX is
available on Zeon's Web site: http://www.pdfwizard.com/. You can download it
free for evaluation purposes.
Zeon's "Sample Container" application (executable) is also included to
demonstrate the features/functions you can realize with the Reader OCX.
Note : After installing the Trial Edition, you
can find the "Sample Container" shortcut in "Start > Programs > Zeon
DocuCom > Reader OCX".
SDK Edition : SDK Edition: To help speed up your development,
purchase the SDK edition with extra documents and sample codes from our online
store: http://www.pdfwizard.com/
The "PDF Reader OCX SDK" document (in PDF format) gives detail API descriptions
for programming purpose.
Complete source codes of the " Sample Container " ¡§C both in VC and VB binding
are included. SDK customers are allowed to modify or adapt the codes to their
own needs.
Note 1 :
After purchasing the SDK Edition online, you will receive a "Product Key File"
for the Reader OCX. Please follow the instructions in it to "Activate" the SDK
edition - essentially, removing the trial watermark on each PDF page.
Note 2 : After installing the SDK Edition, you
can find the "Sample Container" shortcut in "Start > Programs > Zeon
DocuCom > Reader OCX," together with source codes and documents.
OEM Edition : This is for the deployment of Reader OCX within a
customer's application.
After signing the OEM contract, a tailor-made OEM installer will be forwarded to
the customer to be included in the target application.
Developer must call an API to "Activate" (Enable) ReaderOCX - one time.
A special "Key Code" (Serial Number) is created and sent to the customer for
initializing the Reader OCX at run-time.
Note :
Please contact Zeon at sales@pdfwizard.com to obtain the "DocuCom OEM
Products" document for instructions on how to deploy the OEM edition and
OEM licensing.

OCX , together with the sample container . The trial version of PDF Reader OCX
will add a "Trial Watermark" on each PDF page it displayed or printed .
Purchase the SDK Edition. (for developers)
The SDK Edition includes the OCX itself, together with API documents, and the

the setup process of the target application.
4 . How to Install/Uninstall the Reader OCX
Important : Because the Reader OCX could be a shared module
among different applications and Windows allows only one registration. To avoid
possible conflicts, the Reader OCX Installer will enforce the installation
directory to: "Program Files\Zeon\DocuCom\PDF Reader OCX".
Trial and SDK Edition
1 > Execute the "ReaderOCX.msi" program at:
Start>Programs>Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
2 > In the Setup dialog box, click Next whenever you
are ready to proceed. Follow the on-screen instructions to read the
introduction, and accept the license agreement.
3> Enter your name, your organization (optional), select for
all users or current user , and then click Next or Install to
begin the installation.
4> When the process is complete, a message will tell you
that PDF Reader OCX is installed. Click Finish to complete the
installation.
Note 1
: Files are installed in Program Files\Zeon\DocuCom\PDF ReaderOCX and
shortcuts are created for the Sample Container. For the SDK edition, there are
some extra shortcuts for related documents and source codes.
Note 2
: you cannot change the destination folder for the PDF Reader OCX files,
because the OCX module needs to be registered and may be shared by different
applications.
OEM Edition Only
Please contact sales@pdfwizard.com to obtain the DocuCom OEM Products¡± for
details.
5 . How to Initialize the Reader OCX
The Reader OCX must be properly initialized. Otherwise, there will be a "Trial"
watermark on each page displayed or printed.
Trial Edition
There will always be a "Trial" watermark displayed.
SDK Edition
Customers who purchase the SDK Edition will receive a "Product Key
File" to convert the "Trial" license to a normal one -
essentially removing the trial watermark.
Remove Trial Watermark in the "Sample Container": You need to modify
the source codes of the "Sample Container" included in the SDK
Edition by following the instructions below:
Remove Trial watermark in target application: You need to modify the call to
"Initialize" the Reader OCX at run-time. See below:
You MUST initialize the Reader OCX at run-time to remove the "Trial"
watermark ¨C by using the ¡°Serial Number¡± in the ¡°Product Key File¡± you
received from Zeon Corporation: The Serial Number is a 32byte data file which
is needed during initialization. For example:
"E9A2-643D-4DB7-76EF-A392-239F-291D-E894".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VC Sample:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CPDFReaderOCX* pPDFReaderOCX = new CPDFReaderOCX() ;
pPDFReaderOCX->Create( ... ) ;
pPDFReaderOCX->Initialize("E9A2643D4DB776EFA392239F291DE894" ) ;
pPDFReaderOCX->OpenFile( szFileName, szPassword ) ;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VB Sample:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dim lr As Long
PDFReaderOCX1.Initialize ("E9A2643D4DB776EFA392239F291DE894")
lr = PDFReaderOCX1.OpenFile(ParamText1.Text, ParamText2.Text)
ReturnValue.Text = CStr(lr)
OEM Edition
Please contact sales@pdfwizard.com to obtain the ¡°DocuCom OEM Products¡± for
details.
6 . The Sample Container
Zeon's implementation of the "Sample Container" is to demonstrate the features
and functions that can be realized by client applications.
Important : The sample container is never intended to be
complete and thoroughly engineered. There is no error handling and boundary
check, and "Trial" watermark will always been displayed without modifying the
codes.
How to Remove "Trial" watermark : For SDK Edition bundled with
the source codes of the sample container, customers MUST modify the source
codes to properly ¡°Initialize¡± Reader OCX to remove the ¡°Trial¡± watermark.
See section 5 for details.
Trial Edition
For the Trial Edition, only the executable is included and the installer will
create necessary shortcut for it.
SDK Edition
The SDK Edition also contains the source codes (in
both VC and VB) of the sample container together with the API document. You can
freely modify and include them in your application.
If you want to use the Sample container without the
"Trial" watermark, please modify the source codes to properly
initialize the Reader OCX -- See section 5 for details. OEM Edition
OEM Edition is for distribution purpose only. It contains no "Sample Container".
To start the Sample Container :
Click the Start Menu, choose :
"Programs > Zeon DocuCom > PDF Reader OCX > Sample Container "

8. Known Problems
1. VB Printing Problem: Due to Windows GDI data structure, you cannot use the
default "Printer.hdc" in VB codes to print a PDF document. Instead,
you must use the "CreateDC" method to realize the printing function.
We are currently working on this issue with Microsoft.
2. Shading Problem: Not all shading types are supported at this moment. We will
include full support in next release, scheduled within Dec. 2003.
